They sell posters of it. Pretty sure you could sweet-talk your way into getting someone at RB to give you a verbal history of it, at minimum.

Seeing as it ran in GT class, the mods would have been pretty restricted; it's a production class.

With the introduction of the RX-7, Racing Beat designed and fabricated an RX-7 to attempt a Bonneville Land Speed Record in the summer of 1978. Entered in the E/GT class, and driven by Car and Driver Magazine Editor Don Sherman, this RX-7 boosted the class record from 167 to over 184 MPH.

The sticky "More old magazine articles" Has the link for a pdf of the first issue of Rotary Rocket. There is an article on the RB SA Bonneville car in that issue.

The article was shortened and reprinted in the Special Edition in 1980 along with this color picture and intro.
